Which of the league’s superstars will start the 2025 MLB All-Star Game?
We’ll find out soon. The starters for both the American League and National League will be revealed during an hour-long special Wednesday.
Aaron Judge of the Yankees and Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers – the two defending MVPs – are already penciled in as starters. Judge and Ohtani were the top overall vote-getters in their respective leagues during Phase 1 of the fan voting.
The rest of the winners from Phase 2 are still to be determined. And a number of the races are slated to go down to the wire. For example, in the NL outfield, Juan Soto, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker are all deserving of a spot. But so is Ronald Acuña Jr., and there are only three spots to go around.
Fans face a number of tough decisions as they cast their ballots. Freddie Freeman and Pete Alonso are both deserving of a starting nod at first base for the NL. Similarly, rookie sensation Jacob Wilson and Bobby Witt Jr. are vying for the start at shortstop for the AL.
Here’s how to tune in to see who will be selected to start the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, including TV and live stream information.
